Björk - Declare Independence
Björk - Declare Independence
Icelandic music star Björk, has greeted the independence of Kosovo, during her Volta tour in Japan. The singer, appeared on Tuesday in the Tokyo "Nippon Budokan" hall in front of 14.000 people, opening the concert with her "Declare Independence" song, originally dedicated to the Faroe Islands -- a group of North Atlantic islands comprising an independent province of the Kingdom of Denmark, but also traditionally and directly linked with Iceland, the homeland of the singer.

"Uh, I really love this song!" - announced Björk under the stage lights and immediately started shouting "Kosovo, Kosovo, Kosovo", dedicating the song to the breakaway province, whereas the public followed in thunderous cheers waving red flags creating the impression of the Albanian flag.

Next, according to the Serbian Blic reporter, Björk addressed the public with the following words: "Kosovo must be independent, Serbs don't merit anymore to rule over Kosovo".

Fragment from the song's lyrics:

Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!

Damn colonists
Björk
Ignore their patronizing
Tear off their blindfolds
Open their eyes

Declare independence!

Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!

With a flag and a trumpet
Go to the top of your highest mountain!

And raise your flag! (Higher, higher!)
Raise your flag! (Higher, higher!)

Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!
Declare independence!
Don't let them do that to you!

Raise the flag!

BJORK is absolutely awful!!
When she sings its like listening to animals die!

Not only that, but she has, on many occasions attacked reporters and gone on violent rampages.
She obviously mentally disturbed.

Bjork is an idiot. Her combination of insanity, extreemly poor music skills and sheer stupidity regarding Histroy and international laws make her a perfect pro-albanian supporter.

Bjork obviously missed some history classes. And her political education is not on a high level also. As well as her last 2 albums...

Bjork has always been real, raw and passionate. She believes in truth and justice and is not afraid to fight for it. Thanks Bjork for your support. You are a true sugarcube.
